Moisten your lips and dive into something smooth.
Roasted pumpkin with citrus orange, onion and garlic infused with licoricey tarragon; Pumpkin and Orange Soup.
This dish will topple any belief that vegan food can’t be super nourishing.
Make this:
- When its f**king freezing outside and you need a nourishing creamy broth to warm you up
- When you’ve had a hard day at work and need a lift me up wholesome soup
- When time is of the essence and you have a starter to quickly rustle up for your dinner party
Pumpkin and Orange Soup was inspired when stumbling upon a quaint grocery shop in Shoreditch with my housemate, Rin. Laden with pumpkins and oranges and tarragon, I made my purchase. Back home, I dished up some soup for us and it was lush.
Pumpkin and Orange Soup is vegan and paleo.
Love.
